Lab Value - Calcium (Ca ) (Serum Electrolyte) 8.6 - 10.2 mg/dL -If a patient has severe hypocalcemia, take seizure precautions and assess the airway. Also, monitor for tetany, tingling sensations in the tips of the fingers and around the mouth, and in the feet. Spasms of the muscles of the extremities and the face may occur. Also, be alert for ECG changes including a prolonged QT interval. - If a patient has hypercalcemia, increase mobilization and encourage sufficient oral intake. Take ...

Positively charged electrolytes (cations) have a positive charge due to the presence of extra electrons. Major cations include - Sodium (Na+) Potassium (K+) Magnesium (Mg++) Calcium (Ca++) Negatively charged electrolytes (anions) have a negative charge due to the absence of an electron. Major anions include - Bicarbonate (HCO3-) Chloride (Cl-) Phosphate (H PO4-) The main electrolytes in body fluid - Na+ sodium Cl- chlorine Mg2+ magnesium Ca2+ calcium K+ potassium Hyponatremia Path...
